Zapier can no longer connect to Plaud – Bad Gateway error

Hi,

I’m having an issue connecting Zapier with Plaud.

The connection used to work without any problem, but now it fails every time I try to reconnect. When I attempt to connect my Plaud account in Zapier, I get the following error message:

“Zapier could not connect to your account. The app returned ‘The web server reported a bad gateway error.’”

I already tried:

  • Disconnecting and reconnecting the Plaud account from Zapier

  • Revoking Zapier access from the Plaud side and reconnecting

  • Retrying from scratch, but the issue persists

Nothing has changed on my side as far as I know, and it was working previously.

Has anyone experienced this issue with Plaud?
Is this a known outage, API change, or authentication problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hey ​@pampaf,

    Sometimes this issue can be caused by browser cache or stored session data. I’d recommend trying the connection flow in an incognito/private window.

    Open an incognito window, log in to your Zapier account there, then create a brand-new Plaud connection and complete the Plaud login from the same incognito window. This can help rule out cache, cookies, or stale authentication sessions causing the bad gateway error.

      Thanks for the suggestion.

      I already tried connecting from a different device and a different IP/network, and I’m seeing the same behavior. The connection flow still fails with the bad gateway error, so it doesn’t seem to be related to browser cache, cookies, or a stale session.

      Appreciate the help.

            Facing the same issue, as well. I just tried to set up the integration and getting the same error:

            “Zapier could not connect to your account. The app returned ‘The web server reported a bad gateway error.’”

                I’m having the same issue also. I’ve submitted a ticket to Zapier.

                    I was informed by the PLAUD support earlier today that the Zapier issue has been resolved. I just tried it and it seems to be working fine once again.
